And now the reviews

With the release of my first novel just about three weeks off, I've been tensing up in anticipation of those dreaded things called reviews. Today I made two discoveries: first, that the book is already in stock in stores even thought the official release date is September 8th; and secondly, that the very first review to be posted on a bookstore site (to my knowledge, anyway) is now up at Barnes & Noble.

This one is brilliant: five stars, from no less a person than Harriet Klausner, described by Time magazine as "one of the world's most influential and prolific book reviewers".

More good news:

The edits to my second novel, which I've been tackling sporadically for the better part of a year, have taken off and I'm now on a roll. **fingers crossed, eyes tight shut** At the present momentum, it should be out of my hands within two or three weeks.

My author's copies of Café au Lait are almost here and I'll be giving away a bunch of them on my blog as the release date draws near. Will keep you posted!
